No jersey decision today, short sleeve jersey all the way. The route for today followed “Atascocita – Walden – Huffman” to the south and east. I rolled out at 11:11 AM under a blue sky (weather station called it “fair”), the wind was calm and the temperature was a pleasant 82 with 65% humidity. The ride totaled 32.8 miles<\/strong> moving the week’s total to 139 miles<\/strong>, October to 322 miles<\/strong> and YTD to 6405 miles<\/strong>. I need 395 miles to reach my goal by the end of the month. When I finished at 1:40 PM it was 88 degrees.<\/p>\n

No need to detour around sidewalk\/greenbelt construction on this route. I noticed more piles of flood debris disappeared along the ride. Workers have moved into place in some houses. Kingwood High School shows activity too.<\/p>\n

During yesterday’s ride I heard the chain starting to squeak so after the ride I waxed the chain. During today’s ride it was very quiet.<\/p>\n

I looked up The Heroes Ride website and found out the start time moved up to 8 AM so it is good I checked or I would’ve arrived about when they started. I will need to get up earlier than usual.<\/p>\n

A brief stop at the Huffman Chevron to refill my water bottle and then I was on my way.<\/p>\n

The replacement Power Pod power meter works much better than the previous unit so far. No glitches and the data looks real. Strava calculated my FTP to be 219 so I adjusted this on the Elemnt screen. My average power has been 80 to 90 watts and maximum is usually just below 400 watts. I did not have the Power Pod for an organized ride this year so it will be interesting to see the numbers for The Heroes Ride on Saturday.<\/p>\n

More great weather on Friday which means more biking. If I could choose my perfect biking weather today is it.<\/p>\n
